Starting out

As soon as you move, you will be teleported to the top of the world and surrounded by bedrock
You can get out by choosing a race
Select the items to learn more about the race, use it to choose that race
Once you choose a race, you will be released and teleported back down(Netharans will instead remain at the top of the world & will have to enter the nether portal by them to start playing)
The race of a player will show above a player's head, using the same texture as the item for the race selection. Enerknights have the active obsidian helmet texture above their head instead.

Races

Ardoni

The only unique thing about ardoni is that you can use songs. No other race can
You can buy song containers from max level ardoni npcs, which you can get songs from(you need a diamond or netherite pickaxe to open song crates).
When you stand on a shrine center, it will check for each song type 6 blocks in one direction & 1 block up
Mobilium is west, supporium is east, protisium is north, aggressium is south
If a song is found in the correct position, it will be activated & placed in your inventory
Use it on a block, while standing on a shrine center, to deactivate it
Activated songs in your inventory will become blocks again if you die

Song Power

Using a song requires song power, each one with its own cost
If you don't have enough power for the song, nothing will happen
The maxinum song power is 60
If you have less than that, you will regain 1 song power every second
You have infinite song power in creative mode
